It's quite nice for running diskussions and newsbits. I have one set up at http://www.f-2.org (sorry, german contents, but I could easily change that). It allows you to post new articles (and categorize them - so you could post new links, Infos, Pictures, what ever you like) and comment on those. Those articles can easily include links to your photos (this being the prefered way), so you don't have to post them to one special board. Or you could include them as an attachement, if you don't have an own board (I could hack it up a bit that attached images are shown inline). It's much like Slashdot or those other weblog systems and so is really tailored for running discussions. Search and stuff is included, so you can easily digest the archives for informations later. Running it (and pushing f-2.org to it's limits) wouldn't be a big problem for me. Actually this was what f-2.org should have been in the first case, only that it's quite stupid to run it if you are the only contributor. Although I did hang my own homepage onto it. It's currently run moderated, so don't be astonished if your articles don't show up at once. Traffic wouldn't be a big problem, I have nice conditions at my provider and if it grows to big, I might be able to cut another deal. It's my own employer where I run the stuff and I am the guy who does all their internet developments. They can't throw me out ;-) I just would need someone to go over the stuff and "touch it up" a bit - my english isn't the best, since I am not a native speaker. bye, Georg - -- http://hugo.f-2.org/
